What is hyperemesis? Hyperemesis is defined as: Hyperemesis gravidarum (from Greek hyper and emesis and Latin gravida; meaning "excessive vomiting of pregnant women") is a severe form of morning sickness, with unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids.

We are pregnant!
It is true, probably a little early to be spreading the news but, I only have a week or so before Hyperemesis hits and my life will end as I know it. It feels like I know the day I will die. A weird feeling. I am 4 weeks and 4 days. Too early to tell people, but hyperemesis hits between 5-6 weeks. The count down is on, I already have seen my obgyn, and I all ready have my zofran (zofran -Ondansetron is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Ondansetron is in a class of medications called serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural substance that may cause nausea and vomiting). So, it is official!
